India's UPI International Enables Donations to Nepal Flood Relief Fund
India's Unified Payments Interface (UPI) International feature is being used to facilitate donations from Indian donors to Nepal's Prime Minister Disaster Relief Fund following deadly floods near the Nepal-Tibet border. The Embassy of Nepal in India has urged donors to activate UPI International on their payment apps to complete contributions via designated QR codes. This marks a new use case for UPI beyond tourist payments, enabling cross-border disaster relief funding while highlighting the system's growing international acceptance.
